That about holidays…

Holidays can trigger things? Demands to be so happy, smile… I can imagine a parent for whom holidays means tensions (his or her story)… Sensitive children feeling this. They have probably also experienced outbursts from a parent (I see a father here). But not being allowed to react on this. Have had to suppress feelings of anger, rage and fear? Horrified, wanting to scream, escape, being protected... Eyes full of tears with horror and fear.

The children had to think of another parent (a mother) and her (most often) feelings, her needs of, I don't know, creating the happy family, maybe even the model family? The children had to show smiling faces and glittering eyes. Especially those days, but also at other times and occasions. Not to forget all those other occasions.

I also came to think about defences, those Bosch writes about, as now False Power Anger. We all use the same defences, women as men, but individuals tend to prefer certain… Women False Hope and men False Power. And we all use the Primary defence under all other defences, meaning that we blame ourselves. For instance we blame ourselves that we can't be so happy strikes me now!
Bosch means that the ones who have most reasons to use the Primary Defence are more prone to depressions. She sees connections here, that the Primary defence causes depressions. And she also writes that those with a strong False Power defence are at risk of being more effective if they try to harm themselves… Their trials to commit suicide is more "successful"...

Now I am writing from my memory of what Bosch writes.

If we admitted those things we would help people with those problems. And I think (stronlgy believes) it is possible to do things to “cure” those things… Contrary to what many many "experts" think!!?? Which means the only option isn't to cope with them!! Or having to deal with this miserable life.

If the society wasn’t in such a denial. I am a bit angry...

Maybe I return to this topic later.

But I wish all from deep in my heart a
Happy New Year.

At last out on the net...

Now I am out on the net for the first time with my new computer!! Fantastic! With the help of one of my brothers in law. But I would probably have managed it myself - I think! On the first photo: Two of my nephews to the left and my youngest brother to the right, and the neck of a brother in law.
I wonder if we are fairly lucky with the weather here in Dalarna where I am celebrating midsummer!? It hasn't been any rain yet and we have been sitting out eating herring at lunch time. But I think the weather is worse in the southern parts - not fun!

The relatives in the north sound as they too have ok weather.

Now we are going to grill... Nice. I have taken photos on celebrations we visited here which I will publish later, with may pole and plays.

Happy midsummer or Glad midsommar to all who happen to read this blog!

Addition: now some photos added back home again. When I drove home it started to rain a little and was fairly cold out...

On the last photo the neck of my youngest brother and another of my brothers in law t the right..

Midsummer...


The shortest day of the year today. I am baking bread to take with me on a combined Midsummer and birthday celebration today... I am probably going to try to take a bike ride before I go... I hope I have time with that.

Here some tips about how we celebrate Midsummer:
Celebrating Swedish Midsummer on Skis.

Why Swedish Midsummer Rivals Christmas.
Celebrating the Swedish way/Midsummer.

We celebrate the change of Seasons.
